Kate Winslet Pays Tribute To ‘Titanic’ Producer Jon Landau: “The Kindest And Best Of Men”

Kate Winslet remembered her Titanic and Avatar: The Way of Water producer Jon Landau following the news of his death at age 63, exclaiming that “his passion for filmmaking only deepened with age.”

 

Winslet said she’s known Landau “since I was 20 years old.” The British actress, who prior to Titanic was known for arthouse films like Sense and Sensibility and Heavenly Creatures, rocketed to blockbuster stardom with the Landau produced, James Cameron directed 1997 movie about the doomed ocean liner, which for a while, became the highest grossing movie ever at $2.2 billion (that title would cede to Cameron’s Avatar at $2.92 billion). Titanic earned Winslet her second career Oscar nomination/first Best Actress nom. In Titanic, Winslet played the upper crust passenger Rose DeWitt Bukater. Though engaged to rich guy Caledon “Cal” Hockley, Rose falls for Leonardo DiCaprio’s poor artist, Jack Dawson, while on board.

 

Winslet would reteam with Landau and Cameron on 2022’s Avatar: The Way of Water as Ronal in the $2.3 billion grossing sequel. In the movie, Ronal, a member of the Metkayina sea clan, provides refuge for Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and his family as they flee the human conquerors.

Winslet tells Deadline tonight, “Jon Landau was the kindest and best of men.”

 

She adds, “He was a man who was rich with compassion and exceptional at supporting and nurturing teams of phenomenal creative people.”

 

“His strength in life was knowing the importance of family, at home and at work,” continued Winslet.

 

“He was always full of smiles and gratitude. I can’t believe I am writing this, can’t believe he is gone.”

Maybe we should celebrate her iconic status with a proper movie list but that would took some time because holy moly I watched a lot of her

I've seen a lot with her too, however here's my top:

 

1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

One of my favorite and one of the most beautifully devastating movies.

 

2. The Dressmaker (2015)

This movie has always made me experience a whirlpool of different emotions and to some extent it's not easy to watch it, but it's definitely worth it.

 

3. Mare of Easttown (2021)

Who doesn't love complex female characters?

 

4. Titanic (1997)

I don't think this one needs any explanation.

 

5. Revolutionary Road (2008)

It contrasts sharply with the Titanic, showing a heartbreaking portrait of a typical american family of the 50s. A couple of years ago I would have put it above the Titanic, but now I appreciate the Titanic more.

 

6. The Reader (2008)

Heavy, but worthwhile.

 

7. Little Children (2006)

I watched it for the sex scenes, but that's not the only advantage of this movie.

 

8. Finding Neverland (2004)

Of course I cried.

 

9. Labor Day (2013)

 

10. The Mountain Between Us (2017)

 

 

On my watchlist: The Regime (2024), Lee (2023), Ammonite (2020), Carnage (2011), Mildred Pierce (2011)

 

Seen but can't remember: Wonder Wheel (2017), Collateral Beauty (2016), The Holiday (2006), The Life of David Gale (2003)

Mine follows probably tomorrow

Can't wait

 

o1. Titanic

predictable I know 🤣 but Rose is my all time favorite movie heroine 🌹 also Kate with that gorgeous red hair? no one ever more beautiful graced this earth 😍 ICONIC FROM TIP TO TOE!!! Made me love movies till today

 

o2. Mare of Easttown

another badass QUEEN. Love love love Mare and can't wait for her 2nd case 💗

 

o3. The Dressmaker

you already guessed? Righty just another powerhouse of a female character 💥freakin love this bizarre heartbreaking shocking funny movie!

 

o4. A Little Chaos

Forever in love with this soft beautiful underrated movie always down for a good period drama/love story 😍

 

o5. Revolutionary Road

heartbreaking, stirring and quite the opposite of Titanic even though smiliar like Rose April feels caged in her boring, predictable suburban life. Bummer that husband Frank is nothing like Jack and doesn't have the courage to support her dreams and break free from social shackles and expectations.

 

o6. The Mountain Between Us

never understood the medicore reviews. especially the 1rst half is a brilliant, thrilling, emotional struggle for survival. Loved Kate and Idris together. I believed every second of their survival/love story 🤩

 

o7. Little Children

Another trapped woman. Another weak man. Where's Jack when we need him? 😅 Poor baby. I felt so much empathy for her when that motherf*cker didn't show up like he promised 💔

 

o8. Labor Day

is it just me or is this movie insanely sexy? The chemistry between Kate and Josh Brolin is on another level 🥵 Never thought baking could be that hot 😄

 

o9. The Holiday

it's a feel good christmas movie (one of the better ones) what means I watch it every year what means it's one of my most watched Kate movies. It deserved to be in the top ten. Simple as that 😅 

 

1o. Contagion

very good pandemic movie. even better after covid because it makes you realize how fuckn accurate it is 😱

 

11. The Reader

this book was compulsory reading in my school time and call me crazy but I pictured Kate as Hanna while reading it. So when she got the part in the movie years later I couldn't wait to see it. Wasn't disappointed. Never understood the controversy about her oscar win for this role. She was brilliant.

 

12. Finding Neverland

yeah I cried too 😭 also pretty sure no one wears a giant flowery hat better than Kate

 

13. Divergent

I like baddie Kate 😈

 

14. Insurgent

why beautiful when evil?

 

15. Quills

if this was a Joaquin Phoenix ranking this movie would be a lot higher because it's one of my favorite Phoenix movies/performances but not necessarily of Kate (she's great too though) if that makes any sense. It's a highly sexualized, weird, sometimes even creepy movie. It's def not for everyone.

 

16. Sense and Sensibility

another iconic one of Kate I never really got the appeal of. Maybe I should re watch it because normally I'm a sucker for Jane Austen movies. It also contains Kate with big hats + red locks again. actually irresistible

 

17. Mildred Pierce

for some reason I was a bit disappointed in this show. I barely remember anything of the plot. It just didn't "grabbed" me. It's still far away from being bad. Maybe I should give it another try (this list is gettin longer lol)

 

18. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

I know everyone love this freakin movie. I just don't. What can I say? I like everything of Kate and Jim Carreys story but everything else is creeping me out (Mark Ruffalo, Kirsten Dunst, Tom Wilkinson are a bunch of total weirdos here)

 

19. Collateral Beauty

STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THEY CUTTED KATES LOVE STORY. BOO. Overall it's much better than the disastrous reviews imo and also kinda a christmas movie?

 

2o. Triple 9

I think she's playin some sort a russian mobster here? It wasn't a total failure though. Great cast.

 

21. Enigma

this movie I re watched not long ago and while it wasn't necessarily bad it wasn't really good either. something was just missing to make it a good crime/love story/period drama

 

22. Carnage

fighin and yellin people. saw better saw worse. nothing I would re watch lol great cast.

 

23. Steve Jobs

ah yes the times I watched Fassbender movies. for a tech movie it was surprisingly unboring. Love her nerdy intellectual bossy look 🤩

 

24. Ammonite

had high hopes for this movie and was surpised how less I liked it. But sometimes I just have to watch movies twice so maybe this is another candidate for my re watch list lol

 

25. Wonder Wheel

I just don't like Justin Timberlake nor Woody Allen movies. Kate gives her usual best but can't save it imo

 

26. Avatar 2

boring

 

27. Movie 43

one of the weirdest, unfunniest things I ever watched in my life

 

seen but no memory whatsoever: Hamlet, Iris, The Life of David Gale, Jude, Knightskater, All the King's Men, Marrakesch, Heavenly Creatures

 

on my watchlist: the regime, Lee, blackbird, romance & cigarettes

What controversy?

She won best actress for "The Reader" and everyone was whining that first of all it wasn't her best role nor performance or movie and second it should've been for supporting, 3rd how she was snubbed for RR when she won the globe for that role etc etc People are never satisfied 🤣 And then of course Weinstein was involved in The Reader. Back then maybe not a controversy but these days you have to pay for this fact of course.

Yes, Kate. Many Times Over. But Not for ‘The Reader’

 

Don’t Give an Oscar to The Reader

 

Could 'Reader' controversy hurt Oscar chances?
